The locks are a grief block yea. The more you kill your own people (carelessness or not) the more grief points you get. Eventually your weapons will be disabled and any vehicles will move really slowly. You -really- have to work to get yourself banned by teamkilling.

Vehicles are on a timer, I think the more impressive the vehicle (empire specific tanks vs a plain wraith) the longer the interval. Maybe a max number in the field from one spawn point? All a guess tho.

Getting to battle after dying all depends on how far from it you spawn. If it's in the middle of a locked continent (can't use warp-gates to bring in vehicles because another empire owns all the bases) and you're respawning in your starting Sanctuary then it'll be a long run. If you have an AMS (mobile spawn base) set up close then you can pop up there. If you're defending your own base then you can spawn right inside. Also, when you die you have the option of wating for a medic to revive you on the field. Long jog or short hop, it's all situational.

If you start to Team Kill people you will amass grief points, after you get enough grief points your weapons will stop firing.
I think for every point of damage you do to a team member your weapons lock for 1 minute.
So be careful when you see the warning Messages

Is this one big q about grief, or about several issues?

I dunno.

But I am pretty concerned about the spawn times for vehicles as well.

yes, vehicle lox r when u get 2 much grief points. how long u have 2 wait 4 a vehicle 2 respawn is unknown.
Bein tweaked in beta probably. U need a vehicle respawn 2 spawn a vehicle, and sometimes u have 2 wait and then spawn the vehicle 2 drive it.
long time 2 go 2 battle after dyin, hmmm that depends on where u r, if ur long away it might take some time yes. But if its in ur home base then u will only have 2 respawn and ur in de battle.
